A feral cat, he’s pretty ferocious and I’m not going near him

I have never seen a feral cat in Labadee. It looks like it's hanging out by one of the cabanas?

Beautiful day in Labadee we are the only ship in port. The sand is so white and pristine! RCL has changed their drink package policy, instead of one drink you can now get a case without anyone questioning it. I’m thinking it’s because of the help, Elbo seems to have disappeared, just wait until I get that survey to fill out 

 

Notice the wildlife, when I get home I’ll have to research to see if these critters are indigenous to Labadee.

 

Met a wonderful vendor, she said to say hello to everyone and can’t wait for all of you to visit and help support them. I didn’t even barter for her jacket, paid full price since some of these evenings out on deck have been a bit chilly.

 

Waiting for the kayaks and they also offer bike rides now, they had a pre-cruise special for only $499, what a deal!

 

I think tonight might be formal night.

 

Your cruise review & pictures are hilarious 😂!!!  Needed a laugh after calling NCL concerning my canceled 4/05/2020 cruise on the Bliss.  I was told the Standard Travel Protection I paid of $520 was non refundable & basically worthless due to the new circumstances happening with the cruise line.  I was directed online to where I could find the form for a refund.  Also my requested beverage/dining/shore excursions made 3/9/2020 is in pending status.  I just hope within 90 days I receive my refund.  Thanks again for taking me on your wonderland cruise!!!

Darn my cat wandered off again..........I guess looking for a better life.

Thanks for the live review. We wish we were cruising with you. Enjoy!

[Ukigirl]

Formal night!! Started out at Windjammer and quite pleased with my dinner, here’s my food porn. Appetizers were awesome, the chips were very crispy and crunchy, crab legs were a bit under cooked, more chicken and quite a unique presentation with asparagus. Dessert was an amazing cookie tower, RCL outdid themselves tonight, who needs lobster?

 

I purchased the photo package so can’t wait. I was very excited about my solo cruise but I’m having these strange feelings, love my DH of 32 years but hmmmm

[nancronin]

You're doing great - thanks for the laughs!

 

[ellenw]

Keep it coming! We all need a good cruise review right now. Thanks!

[Ukigirl]

Fancy pictures on deck and gotta admit this solo cruise might have been a mistake, I have made the decision to leave my DH for Elbo, if he doesn’t agree to marry me I might just jump,  hey I’m a decent swimmer. Glad I packed my wedding dress, was going to wear it for second or tenth or fifteenth formal night!  I did splurge on my hair, kudos to the salon staff as my natural highlights look fantastic. Good night everyone!

Wait...your suite has a fireplace? Are you allowed to start a fire in it? Nice!

 

[Alter Ego]

I love all of your brightly colored dresses.  No wonder Elbo can’t keep his hands off of you.  But, hey, what happens on the ship, stays on the ship.

Thank you for the wonderful posts.  Just this morning my DH and I were feeling a bit sorry for ourselves.  It seems everything we love to do has been canceled.  No traveling to see our grandsons, can’t visit our new granddaughter, no Disney trip and no cruising.

We wallowed in self pity and then I read your posts.  

You really cheered us up and made us laugh our butts off.

Thank you!❤️

My daily attire is black on black, maybe a hint of gray and if I’m feeling adventurous  a pop of white. Believe me when I tell you embracing color is a big deal for me and it’s just a few pieces that I take on our trips.

So booking this cabin on our next cruise. 

[Ukigirl]

Rumor around the ship is that Independence isn’t the only ship sailing so would love to hear your reviews and see your pics 🙂😢

[mitsugirly]

I absolutely love reviews with humor in them and well this one...it's definitely one of the best I've read to far. You look like you're having an amazing time and the reduced crowds must be amazing. Keep up the great work with this live review. It's what we all need at this point. :)  Happy sailing and looking forward to more.

Thank you, I’ve read your reviews!  This cruise is exhausting, I’ve slapped more makeup on my face today than I have in weeks and don’t get me started with my 80’s Hello Teenage Boomer hairdo.  
 

[Ukigirl]

I have to say I’ve learned from the best, thank you to all of you for your reviews because you’ve kept me clicking that deposit button, especially to John&LaLa, Andrew from Ontario (hoping Owen is on that ice soon), Mitsugirly, Hi Maureen!, Yorkvillain, Robin, MrFunInSun, Bob (miss you and hope you are doing well),  and the one who got me hooked...Cruise Life Rick  and really every thread and topic. I’ve learned so much and have spent many productive hours at work on CC, thank you!

Aww thanks. You make me jealous now and wish I would have thought of something like this. LOL  You rock and this thread is keeping all of us at home in good spirits. I hope you drag it out a little longer. :D

[PCWalton1]

Loving your cruise, thanks so much for taking us along

[PrincessPatti]

Thank you so much for this!  Haven’t seen any sunset pics, so I hope you don’t mind me adding one.

This has made my day !!!

Between home schooling, cooking and cleaning non stop I needed this my kids were like Mom what is so funny !!! I was showing them some of the pictures they think you are too funny. We are supposed to go on our Cruise May 3rd leaves on our 15th anniversary and I have no plans of canceling but its not looking to good for us at this point.
